Muskie painting; Swimming through the valley

A step by step painting demonstration for a design that shows a large predator fish in it's environment.
 Mixing two coloursof acrylic in a heavy wash /watercolour technique over the canvas and letting it dribble down.
The Muskie shape is added in the middle of the canvas with some details of light flickering across it's back Along with darkening the spaces between the paint dribbling.

Mure detailhas been added to the bottom of the image to create the light from above broken by wave action .



More green and blue have been added and orange added to fish. Sunken branches are added and detail to stems ofvegetation.

More colur and detai ladded to branches with white highlights as broken light dabbles the bottom.


The finished effect of a distant submerged weed lines are added and acouple of suckers swimming at the bottom edge
Perhaps I will add a lure for the fish to chase and bite.
